PROHIBITION OF CREDIT.

An Act of the Legislature prohibits merchants and others, under severe
penalties, from crediting students. The license to contract debts, which

the chairman is authorized to grant, is confined (except when the parent
or guardian requests otherwise in writing,) to cases of urgent necessity;
and these, it is hoped, parents and guardians will as far as possible prevent
from arising by the timely supply of the requisite funds.
